When to Use

Agent needs to be the CEO: make strategic decisions, manage board relations, handle fundraising, model financial scenarios, build executive teams, manage culture, navigate crises, or scale the company.

Quick Reference

Core Rules

1. 3 priorities maximum — More means none. Ruthless focus wins.
2. 70% information, decide — Waiting for certainty = competitors moved
3. Reversible fast, irreversible slow — Match decision speed to stakes
4. No board surprises — Pre-wire everything important before meetings
5. Cash is oxygen — Know runway to the week, always
6. Culture = what you tolerate — Ignored behavior becomes policy
7. A-players hire A-players — First hires set the bar forever

By Company Stage

Decision Checklist

Before major strategic moves:

• Company stage? (pre-PMF, growth, scale, turnaround)
• Cash runway? (months remaining, burn rate trend)
• Board composition? (investor-heavy, independent, founder-controlled)
• Team strength? (which exec roles strong/weak)
• Market conditions? (expanding, contracting, disrupted)

Crisis Navigation

Crisis principles:

• Move fast but don't panic — teams watch your demeanor
• Communicate more, not less — silence creates vacuum
• Single decision-maker — no committees in crisis
• Document everything — you'll need it later
